Yogatoes

I found some older posts about yogatoes, but I wanted to see if anyone still uses them. Are there any knockoffs that are just as good? If you have a recommendation, please share a link. TIA

I bought a pair way back when and I still use them! DH and I used to fight over them, but we share and usually switch off when we're watching a movie. Don't know about the knockoffs, but I'd say I got my money's worth out of them.

I still use mine as needed - maybe 1-3 times a week. I have both the knockoffs sold at Walgreens and the originals. Knockoffs are not nearly as wide/thick between the toes (they were only $9.99). Plus in Summer I like to keep one pair in fridge (in their box away from food ) for when I am hot.
They really help me with general foot & bunion pain. Sometimes I wear them for hours when reading or watching TV.

I have mine and still use them, although not as often as I should! The one time I remember is when I paint my toenails--I use the Yogatoes instead of the cheap foam toe separators, and I keep them on for several hours then.

I don't know how to post neat and tidy links, but I'm pretty sure these are the ones I have. I like them a lot. I have tiny toes so sometimes my pinky toe won't stay in when I use them after a hiatus, but I feel like they help a lot. After a couple uses my toes spread enough that the pinky one stays in. When I use them it's usually a few times a week for probably 10-30 minutes at a time. I can't use them in the winter bc we keep our house really cool and my feet get too cold without socks and slippers or moccasins. I need to get them out again. I have degeneration in one big toe joint and occasional plantar fasciitis and feel these help with both.

I gave mine away but mostly because when I started using minimalist/barefoot shoes, and found I didn't need the yogatoes.

I don't use mine as much in the winter either b/c of cold feet, but I have found that those fluffy slipper socks are generally loose/stretchy enough to get over the Yogatoes.

I have the original Yoga Toes. I don't use them often, but pull them out if my feet get sore. They do help & they feel so good. I also have a pair like the ones in Vantreesta's link, keep them in my travel toiletry kit. They are smaller than yoga toes, but do the trick & are more affordable.

Thanks for the tip, Beth! I'll have to look for those!

I keep them near my bed. when I do have sore feet, I put them on during the night. I can walk around with them, but for whatever reason I haven't had a chance to do that lately. using it during sleep is convenient for me and works well.
